I don't know about you, but something about charging into battle as a 7' tall reptile with falchion and breastplate just seems to click with me. Sadly it doesn't seem to click with the people from Pazio, as the lizardfolk race (8rp) is lacking in several regards. First off, they have no listed alternate favorite class bonuses or alternate racial features. They also have no racial feats, and they don't have a listed age of adulthood (and subsequent recommended age for classes). Perhaps the biggest issue is that, while they come with a racial swim speed, the lizardfolk race lacks the racial ability hold breath that lizardfolk have listed in the bestiary (I believe this requires and ERRATA).
I don't know if this is the proper board to post this, but I would request some love for the resident lizard race. If it is the wrong board could someone point me in the right direction?
General discussion or product requests.
Oh, and +1. I'd like to see some reptilian loving.
Yep. You read that right, and I am not sorry.
I homebrewed my own lizardfolk race. Uses some different racial stats, but does have racial features that suggest a race instead of being combat mongrels.
There are also a variety of alternate racial traits I wrote, such as one that trades swim for climb, one for chameleon skin, and a few others.
Monster Codex Lizardfolk has them with the hold breath as they should have. And lots of extra lizard loving stuff. And the bestary entry has that as well so just give it to them it is a 1 RP racial trait and most likely an error that they didn't get it. I love the lizardfolk, or in my day lizard men. 3.5 had a nice player race for them too lizardfolk.
Monster Codex has:
- Hold Breath Lizardfolk
- A feat that lets them fully breathe underwater
- A feat that grants a tail attack, one of the hardest-to-get natural attacks.
- A sweet archetype for Druids.
- The BEST high level Oracle Curse there is -- free pounce!
I did love Monster Codex, I think we could even use more of it for the listed races, stuff like alternate racials and what not.

The ARG lizardfolk stats are really just examples of how to use the race builder system. I don't think they were meant to be something that was really supported by Pathfinder, rather: "Hey, Player X wants to be a lizardfolk, here is an example of how you can make the non PC Lizardfolk into a PC type race"
